Autumn Reeser is urging fans to stay alert after discovering a fake social media account impersonating her online.
The Hallmark actress flagged the account, noting that the person running it is attempting to mislead followers under her name. This is another example of the growing number of celebrity impersonation scams circulating across social media platforms, especially among popular Hallmark stars. These types of fraudulent accounts are often used to trick fans into sharing personal information or engaging with misleading content.
Reeser reminded her audience not to engage with the account in any way.
Reeser Calls Out Fake Instagram Account Using Her Name
“In case you couldn’t tell by the spelling of my name, this is definitely NOT my private page; do not engage,” Reeser wrote in an Instagram Story from April 28.
She included a screenshot of the fake account that had the username “@autumnresserprivatepage” which misspelled her last name.
“And to the person who created this, there are infinitely more useful and beautiful things to do with your time. Dream bigger!” Reeser concluded, choosing to leave fans with a message of positivity amid an unfortunate situation.
Reeser is not the only one of her Hallmark family members to deal with people impersonating them online. Her “Always Amore” co-star Tyler Hynes has dealt with a similar situation in the past.
Hynes Urges Fans to Be Beware of Scammers
“Please, beware of scammers,” Hynes wrote in an August 1, 2025 Instagram post. “Please, never send anyone money. Please, look after the vulnerable. Please, use this to show others that who you THINK you are talking to is not me or other actors.”
Hynes refers to a Hollywood Reporter article in his post that discusses these celebrity impersonation scams.
“It is not just our community. It is everywhere. Awareness is everything. And AI is making even less pleasant with voice, video and pictures being very realistic,” Hynes wrote in the caption of his post. “Please take care. 🤍🙏🏻”
Hallmark Stars Issue Warning of Scammers Impersonating Them
Hynes, Andrew Walker, Jonathan Bennett and more Hallmark favorites appeared in a reel posted to the official Hallmark Channel’s Instagram account on October 8, 2025.
“We love our Hallmark family—and that means doing our part to raise awareness around scammers, some who are impersonating Hallmark stars. Learn how to spot the signs and protect yourself,” the caption of the post read.
“There’s a growing industry-wide problem across social media,” Walker said in the video. The stars went on to explain that there are social media impersonators that are reaching out to fans directly with “misleading messages.” They shared a reminder that they would never contact fans personally to ask for “financial help, donations, or to meet up.”
“If you receive a message like this, it’s a scam,” Hynes said.
The stars told fans to take action if they notice an account like this by blocking the account and reporting them to the social media platform.
They left fans with a touching message at the end of the reel. “Stay safe, stay connected, and thank you for being part of our Hallmark family.”
